It is possible that the issue is with the PA fuse, but it is not the only possible cause. Before opening the case and potentially voiding any warranty, it would be best to troubleshoot the issue further. Some other things to check include:
- Making sure that the power cord is securely connected to both the radio and the outlet
- Checking the voltage at the outlet to ensure that it is within the proper range for the radio
- Checking for any tripped circuit breakers or blown fuses in the power supply
- Attempting to power on the radio with a different power cord or outlet
- If none of the above solutions work, it may be necessary to contact the manufacturer or a qualified technician for further assistance.
